1Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia;
1Keras tume te zhanen murhe phral, o lashimos le Devlesko kai kerdilo andel khangeria kai si ande Macedonia.
2how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.
2Le shave le Devleske sas zurales zumade le chinosa kai sas le; numa lengo raduimos kadia de baro sas kai denas so godi dashtinas, marka ke chorhe sas.
3For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
3Phenav tumenge, won dine so dashtinas ai inker mai but de sode dashtinas pendar.
4begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
4Mangle amendar ai butivar sa penge ilesa te sai zhutin ai te traden vari so le Devleske shavenge kai si ande Judea.
5This was not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
5Ai chi ferdi zhutisarde ando tovaro sar ame azhukerasas, numa dine pe won mai anglal ka Del, porme dinepe amenge ande voia le Devleski.
6So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
6Anda kodia mangliam ame katar o Titus te zhal tumende, ai te kerel e buchi kai nachinaisardiasas te kerel te zhutil tume te geton kodia lashi buchi.
7But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace.
7Barvale san ande soste godi, ando pachamos, ando divano, ande goji, ai ando zhutimos, ande soste godi, ai tumari dragostia kai si tume amenge, ai ame mangas te aven barvale ande kadia buchi la dragostiaki.
8I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
8Chi dav tume iek ordina. Numa phenav tumenge sode mangen te zhutin le kolaver, ai te lav sama o chachimos tumare dragostiako.
9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
9Ke zhanen o mishtimos amare Devlesko O Jesus Kristo; kai wo kai sas barvalo, kerdilo chorho tumenge, ai te barvalon tume katar pesko chorhimos.
10I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
10Phenav tumenge so me gindiv pa kadia diela; mishto avelas tumenge te geton so nachinaisardian o bersh kai nakhlo.
11But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
11Ke tume sanas le perve, na ferdi te keren, numa kai mangenas te keren. Zhan angle akana, ai geton kodia buchi! Ai thon sa tumaro ilo te geton ke sar thodianas tumaro ilo te keren, so sa sas tumen.
12For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.
12Ke kana des sa che ilesa, O Del premol so dian ai dikhel pe so si amen, ai na so nai amen!
13For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
13Ke chi mothav tumenge te chorhavon tume ai te den le kolavren, numa trobul te avel tume saikfielo, akana si tume but ai sai zhutin kodolen kai nai le.
14but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality.
14Ai porme te na avela tumen andek dies ai len te avela, won sai dena tumen, ai kadia si kai avela saikfielo.
15As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.” Exodus 16:8
15Ke E Vorba le Devleski mothol, "Kodo kai chidia but nas les kanchi mai but, ai kodo kai chidia xantsi nas les mai xantsi."
16But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
16Luvudime te avel O Del kai thodia ando ilo le Titosko sa kodo dragostia tumenge.
17For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
17Ke premosardia so manglian lestar; ai neve ilesa mangelas te zhutil, ai ande peste manglia te zhal tumende.
18We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known through all the assemblies.
18Ai lesa tradas ieke phrales kai sa le khangeria luvudin les ande peski buchi kai anel e lashi viasta le Devleski.
19Not only so, but who was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
19Inker le khangeria alosarde les te zhal amensa pe kado drom kai ame kerasa kadia lashi buchi ando anav le Devlesko, ai te sikavas sode mangas te zhutisaras le kolavren.
20We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
20Ame arakhas ame saxke khonik te na xoliavol pe amende kai si ame kadala but love kai chidiam ai kai thode ame te arakhas le.
21Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
21Ke ame rodas o mishtimos, na ferdi angla Del, numa vi anglal manush.
22We have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
22Tradas lensa amare phrales, kai butivar zumadiam les, ai wo sagda sa peske ilesa mangelas te kerel buchi. Numa akana mai but mangel te kerel buchi, ke pala baro pachamos kai si les ande tumende.
23As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.
23O Titus, si murho zhutitori ai kerel buchi mansa tumenge; ai le kolaver phral kai si lesa, tradine le katar le khangeria ai keren buchi ando anav le Kristosko.
24Therefore show the proof of your love to them in front of the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
24Sikaven lenge ke mangen le chaches, saxke le khangeria te zhanen mishto ai te zhanen ke ame zhanas sostar luvudis tume.
